Services
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy utilizes water's buoyancy and resistance properties to rehabilitate injuries and chronic conditions. This low-impact treatment reduces joint stress while building strength and stability. Ideal for arthritis, post-surgical recovery, and sports injuries, our programs are tailored to individual mobility needs.
Custom Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics correct biomechanical imbalances through personalized arch support. Using 3D scanning and gait analysis, we create insoles that alleviate foot pain and improve alignment for knees, hips, and back. Materials range from rigid to soft for varied activity demands.
Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative treatments like PRP and viscosupplementation stimulate tissue repair for arthritic joints. Platelet-rich plasma injections deliver concentrated growth factors to damaged cartilage, while hyaluronic acid supplements improve joint lubrication and mobility for long-term pain relief.
Knee Braces
Custom knee braces provide stability for ligament injuries and arthritis. Unloader braces redistribute pressure to reduce pain and delay surgery needs. Fitted during same-day appointments, these devices support active lifestyles while protecting joint integrity.
Physiotherapy
Registered physiotherapists deliver hands-on treatment for acute injuries and chronic conditions. Combining manual therapy with exercise programs, we restore mobility and prevent recurrence. Sessions include personalized education for long-term musculoskeletal health and injury prevention.

Dr Hakoun is so efficient, professional and knowledgeable. I felt like he really knew what he was doing and talking about. I didn't wait long before I was seen. The receptionist was really pleasant as well. And accommodating! It's so nice to have good meet establishments - it's rare, unfortunately!

Absolutely terrible customer service. Didnt even get to meet the doctor. Front desk lady named Melanie had set me up for an appointment and when I showed up, she denies that she made an appointment. She raises her voice when i simply tried to figure out what had happened. I ended up proving her wrong and had to ask for her apologies and she still gave me an attitude as I walked out of that clinic.

Dr. Jack Hakoun is very professional and knowledgeable. His sport clinic is one of the best if not the best I have ever seen. He knows ins and outs of sport medicine and staff are there to help you. I had Tennis elbow a few years back which was mistreated somewhere else but with only 5-6 sessions of physiotherapy my elbow improved and I could function normally again. It was worth driving midtown from uptown. Thanks a lot Dr. Hakoun and all staff for your great job and caring you show to your patients.

Dr. Hakoun is a amazing doctor. He
cares about his patients and is extremely knowledgeable. Melanie at the front counter was very kind to me on the phone and went above and beyond to help me when I was in a desperate situation. This is a great team!

The receptionist at the clinic was one of the worst individual I have ever dealt with providing me false information relating to a recent assessment. Her behaviour was unprofessional and being racist

The Toronto Sports Medicine Centre has been a positive experience for me. I would note that, it is a welcoming Centre and that Dr. Jack Hakoun and his staff genuinely want to help you. I found Dr. Hakoun to be extremely knowledgeable in regards to my knee injury. I am still working towards a full recovery, while utilizing their physiotherapy program with recommendations from Dr. Hakoun. I would definitely recommend Dr. Hakoun and The Toronto Centre for Sports Medicine. My family doctor recommended him to me and I have found that my doctor only recommends specialists/practitioners he feels that
